Physics Question on Units and measurement

If x=at+bt2x =at + bt^2 where xx is measured in m and t ins, thenthe dimension of (b/a) is

A

LT2LT^2

B

LT1LT^{-1}

C

TT

D

T1T^{-1}

Answer

T1T^{-1}

Explanation

Solution

Here, x=at+bt2x = at + bt^2
Dimensionally, x=at=bt2x = at = bt^2
or ba=tt2=1t \frac{b}{a} = \frac{t}{t^2} = \frac{1}{t}
Dimension of (ba)=[T1] \left( \frac{b}{a}\right) = [T^{-1}]
